Polyaminopropyl biguanide (PAPB) is a disinfectant and a preservative used for disinfection on skin and in cleaning solutions for contact lenses.[citation needed] It is also an ingredient in many deodorant bodysprays.[citation needed] It is a polymer or oligomer where biguanide functional groups are connected by hexyl hydrocarbon chains with varying chain lengths.[citation needed] PAPB is specifically bactericidal at very low concentrations (10 mg/l) and is also fungicidal.[citation needed]
